The Constitution says that Judge John--
son has held the Grand Jury of Muscogee
in session, to take in hand election frauds.
This is a good idea, and he deserves com
mendation for it.
Preserving the “purity of the ballot”
according to Radical notions, is to import
car-loads of ignorant Senegambians to do
the heavy voting, at places along on the
line of Rail-roads. Witness recent affairs
of this kind on the State Road.
It has been ascertained by actual count
that up to December Ist, President Grant
has appointed twenty-one relatives to offi
ce. He is supposed to be about two thirds
through the list of second cousins, and will
be able to take up the third cousin list
by the 4th of March next.
John 11. Surratt, has been delivering
lectures in some of the Middle States on
the subject of hip alleged connection with
the plot to assassinate President Lincoln.
He has published a card in which he in
forms the public that he does no f ns
the exponent of political principles. lie
deems his lecture as simrdy a contribution
to history, and is greatly surprised at the
severe and galling strictures passed upon
it by the press, especially the Democratic.
It is now said that the rupture between
President Grant and Col. Forney, was caus
ed by the refusal of the latter, who has
always been considered the most consumate
time-server in our country, to do certain
and rty work of a political nature for the first
named character. According to report,
Grant desired Forney to initiate a move
ment through the editorial department of
the Chronicle, to read out of the party Sen
ators Sumner and Solan z, but he flatly
refused, considering such a course disre
putable, and unmanly ev- r for a politician !
Payments.— The Radical leaders
are sadly at a loss how to bring the country
to specie payment. Boutwell would delay
ouch a consumation till be succeeds in pay
ing off the debt by his own peculiar process.
That process contemplates the purchase ot
the debt and tho cancelling of the obliga
tions before they become due. In this way
10,504,701 have been applied to the
payment of debt not yet due since the first
day cf M&i’Cjh. Stunner base another pana
cea. It is to priiifc no more currency iu
place of that now in circulation. When
this lot wears out, as it will in a few years,
it would make such a gain for the Govern
ment that a return to specie payments
would be both easy and certain. By this
latter process, the people would be com
pelled to pay taxes as usual, while their
loss on the circulation medium would be
fsuperadded !
Thy Business. — A Northern print states
that the- office of Jackson <fe Hammond,
swindlers in New \ork, was searched last
week, and 7QO letters from parties in vari
ous States were discovered, ordering <nun~
terfeit money to the amount of $575,000.
It is said the firm rfSffved nearly $5,000 a
week by their infamous trafic. The crop
of fools is evidently on the increase;
The testimony comes from Mr. Sumner

SOUTHERN CREDIT.
It is unfortunate for the South that, at
a timi- when the reconstruction of its
finances was required, the oontrol of its
State affairs should have fallen into the
hands of mere political adventurers. There
was a time when it was a sufficient guar
antee of a Southern State obligation that it
was backed by Southern men of inflexible
honor and conspicuous integrity. At pres
ent, there is scarcely a State ic the South
whose di*l)ts have this sort of backing. For
the last five years, the finances of the sev
eral States have been controlled by men
who have acquired position through the
political vicissitudes consequent upon the
war. With no experience in statesmanship
or finance and no record but that of ad
venturers, these men have undertaken to
readjust the revenues and debts of the
States. AVe know what we say when we
affirm that the main object with these raw
financiers has not been the good credit of
the State, but the manipulation of the
finances so as to produce the largest possi
ble gains out of speculation. Their
schemes have been, in most cases, hatched
in Wall street banking-houses; and the
Legislators, Governors, and officials have
been paid tools for carrying out the plans
of shrewd bankers. The maiD point aimed
at was to produce the widest possible fluc
tuations in the prices of the Scale bonds,
irrespective of the interest of the State, the
party to be “milked” being the innocent
public. Most of the States have found it
necessary to issue new obligations to pro
vide fur their over due bunds or their un
paid interest. These new issues have in
most eases been put out by secret sale on
the market, and in amounts known onlv to
the negotiator and the clique. In antici
pation of the issue, the parties to the secret
would sell on time large amounts of the
State securities, and so soon as the new
bunds- b»l .been marketed feet would
be announced, with the resuit of a heavy
fall in the market value of the obligations,
afford.Dg the “ring” ppeeuki'ors an oppor
tunity for covering their previous large
sales, lu other instances, a legislative
“ring” has authorized large issues of bonds
to railroad schemes for which there was no
necessity arising cut cf the commerce of
the State. These loans had the double
speculative advantage of involving large
contracts for building the roads, and of
yielding a profit on the manipulation of the
bond, market, the gains on both operations
falling into the hands of the clique. In
other instances, the political speculators
have sought illicit gains through factitious
expedients for stimulating the credit of the
State. In these cases, they would first ot
all buy through New York capitalists large
amounts of the obligations, and then aug
ment tue taxes to retire unexpectedly a
considerable amount of debt, as a still
further expedient, compel certain corpora
tions doing business within the State to
hold a considerable amount of the State
obligations, which the corporations had to
buy irorn the clique.—A. 17 Bulletin.
Gev Grant P wbrles* in Congress.—A
Washington letter to the Baltimore Gazette
says: “It is understood the President
cannot command a sufficient force in the
Senate to ratify any treaty or nomination
in which he is supposed to have a personal
interest, if the present Congress is to be
regarded os tho reflex of the popular Radi
cal senfliment, therefore ilis Excellency
will have a-ditiicljt tirao to* work through
the Radical convention in 1872. ”
Bradley vs. Wilson —AYay down in
happy Georgia there dwells among a nam
erous p ipuiatioh of the "same complexion,
a lively and enthusiastic African, who re- 4
juices in the nnme of A. Alpeoria Brad--*
ley. So much life and enthusiasm has '
Bradley, on political subjects iu particular,
that he is called by his admirers “the
blood and thunder nigger.”
It comes to pass in the natural course
of events, that this neat combination of
gore and electricity aspires to a seat in
Copgress, announces his name as a candi
date, and secures the aomination of a Rad
ical convention. He defeats in the contest
a wbiite man and a cupper colored brother,
and these two get up an opposition move
ment and nominate somebody else. More
than this, they send word to Senator AVilson
of Mass., that Bradley is a bad egg, a bolter,
and wants to break up the party. AVhere
upon Wilson, who is disposed to gather the
whole colored race under his protecting
wings, even a3 a hen gathcreth her chickens,
writes' a letter to Bradley, rebukes him lor
wickedness, and tells him to stop running
for Congress on pain of losing forever tho
AVilsor.ian friendship and patronage. But
A. Alpeofia, like “Young Gosling” in the
play, on the garden wall, says emphatically*
“f will not come down !” lie also throws
a few rays of light over AYilson’s benighted
soul, by informing him that ho, Bradley, is
“the regular nominee, duly chosen by a
duly authorized convention,” that after this
convention was over, “a defunct committee
held a metting and nominated an ineligible
Indian, and an unknown rative ofOhjw. thus
seeking to elevate a Second rate £ imvgwe
and a third rate white man, over a first-class
colored man.” This interesting corres
pondence between a Georgia darkey and a
United States Senator, is published by the
former in the shape of a circular, illustrated
with wood-cuts. AVe congratulate Bradley
upon knowing his rights, and knowing,
daring to maintain them.
Butler’s Plan.— Mr. Benjamin F. But
ler is a protectionist of the undoubted radi
cal stamp. In a recent speech, delivered
at Boston, in Massachusetts, Mr. Butler
explained to an admiring andienoe his plan
of compeling England to pay the Alabama
claims. “Our remedy,” he said, “is com
plete non-intercourse. She cannot force
us to take her manufactures at the can
non’s mouth. The saving to the country
by the protection thus given to our manu
factories w mid very soun mafe’ good all
the losses by the Alabama, fur which the
government ought to issue bonds and pay
to the individual claimant.’'’
This is set forth by the radical party
press as Mr. Butler’s plan of compelling
England to pay the Alabama claims. It
appears, however, that it is Mr. Butler’s
plan of compelling American
mechanics, and laboring min to pay the
Alabama claims, many times over.
A non intercourse act would reduce
wheat to fifty cents a bushel, and would
instantly increase, by three or four hundred
per cent., the price cf every article that the
farmer and mechanic must wear or use. It
would ruin every planter of corn or c<gton ;
it would send ha*t the laboring!! population
of the northwest to the poor-house, and
cast every .southern nigger agfefn upon tho
bouoty of the public treasury. But it would
be a godsend to New England manufactures
and Pennsylvania iron-mongers. It would
turn into their already weirfilled coffers a
swollen stream of dollars wrung from the
necessities of human existence. It would
enrich villainy and impoverish honesty. It
would cause the mho roan t ~andt i p.opuofcs it
to laugh with diabolical glee, and would
rejoice beyond measure the spirit of his
master, the devil. A siugle day's ope.ration
of a non intercourse act would the
country by the abstraction of more millions
from the pockets of industry than twenty
Alabama claims would am unt to. And
this is the plan of the Prince of Radicals.
C. Times.
Butler Pilloried. —There is probably
no example in history of anything so un
principled and nefarious as the project here
deliberately advanced as a desirable policy
for adoption, by the people and Government
of the United States. It is not tenable or
defensible upon any principle of interna
tional law or equity, and it seriously adopt
ed it would render our country the brigand
of nations. It is just here the danger comes
in. Corporations are said fcb have do souls.
But in modern times it appears that parties
have no principles. There is just a possi
bility that under the presence of party
ncessifv, and as a means of gratifying
individual ambition and rapacity, tho views
of General Butler may shape the policy of
the &Gministration for the next two years.
There is bitter shame and humiliation in
tho thought. The mere announcement in
foreign nations of the promulgation of such
sentiments by a politic an of Gen. Butler’s
reputation and aspirations will inflict more
real danger to our country than was sus
tained from the Anglo-Confederate cruisers.

A Congressional Committee has made
an examination of the Government Print
ing Office, with a view to an extension of
the premises asked for by the Public

the matter with one eye only and with ex
clusive reference to the present amount
of public printing, and especially the pres
ent unusual accumulation of delayed and
unfinished work, have intimated an inten
tion to recommend the proposed enlarge
ment. A broader view of the matt"- w..ulj

the amount of public printing by one-half,

Case. —Tite New York Herald gives tbe
following diagnosis of Southern Radicalism:
The Republican party in the South needs
reconstructing quite as badly as any one of
the rebel S,tate Governments did. Too
many carpet-baggers, too much politics
and roo little intelligence have swamped
the Radical element in Yirginia, North
Carolina and Alabama, and the same
causes promise like resuUs in Arkansas,
Texas and Georgia, Unless the unscrupu
lous politicians who have during the last
three years manipulated Southern affairs
are thrown overboard and party dissentions
healed, most of the late rebel States will be
lost to the administration in the election of
1872.
It is matter for regret th it the depression
in the cotton trade continues, m ire espec
iaily a’s it affects so many business interests,
to say nothing of the commerce of the coun
try. The decline in cotton and current
market quotations represent a loss to the
country of $150,000.000. This, of course,
will be seriously felt in the export trade of
the country, and will entail heavy losses on
the Southern States. This large pecuniary
loss to the cotton growing Slates will ma
terially curtail pnn bases of merchandise in*
Northern cities by Southern merchants.
Nowhere will this loss off- >e be so in
jurious!y felt as in New V.>rk c ry.

Senator Chandler is a good match for

by proposing to clothe the Prrsnlem, with

tainly, this is one kind id' phitosma- ship ;
it well represents the school Iron which it
i-*ues ; and its fatality, as u-ual, is no
problematical matter. The defiant tone of
the Canadian press, instead of quickening
tho perceptions of men like Chandler, has
had the contrary effect ; and if their hot
load was only followed, we should soon he
